Quite an improvement over the first book. While the structure of this installment is rather similar (go to this place, expose some political plot, get on the road, run into trouble, repeat), the action is much more exciting, and how should I put it - magical! Finally Eddings realized that there is more to fantasy novel than just characters that can do magic. There is more interesting lore weaved into the plot, an exciting minor villain is introduced, and some questions about Garion's powers are finally answered. The overall political unrest in the world of Belgariad is becoming a bit more clear too. An improvement indeed.

I seriously think it was a mistake for the original publishers to put this story out in short chunks like they did. While I understand that it was a common practice for the industry to assume their readers had ADHD and couldn't possibly sit through a longer novel, Belgariad saga would have improved tremendously from being slapped together into a single volume. After some extensive editing and removing of unnecessary filler, this book might have ended up a strong contender for a classic. I'm really looking forward to what the next novel in the series is going to bring us.
